Jul 27, 2008 330ml bottle. Deep brown with a ruby tinge, it has a seductive aroma of rich dark fruits and caramel malts. The taste doesn’t disappoint, with warming alcohol helping spread the flavour to the corners of your mouth. It’s not too heavy and suprisingly easy to drink. A good strong ale that goes well with cheese.

Jul 27, 2008 Pour into trappist glass deep red/brown/black with a dissapearing tan head.
Smell alcohol, malt, apples, raisens, very nice.
Taste is raisens, wood, medium alcohol finish, nice medium body. Very nice, wood comes through more as it warms up and it becomes a little cloying.

Jul 14, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Clearish purple brown with a tan froth. Nose is sticky raisin, toffee and grape. Light body; a little thin and fizzy. Taste is burnt sugar, peat and grain. Kind of like sweet watery scotch. Just OK for me.

Jul 12, 2008 Bottle, Barleycorns, Nantwich. Poured a dark browny ruby colour with a lingering thin tan head. Earthy, woody, malty aroma . Flavour was sweetish, lightly smoky, caramel, peaty, with more malt. Dryish finish. Good, not great.

Jul 9, 2008 A dark brown beer with little head. The taste is very complex, changing constantly. It starts with a coffee nut flavor and then changes to a caramel and fruit mixture. There is a sweet , light rum flavor in the aftertaste. Very good.

Jul 4, 2008 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a light brown with red highlights. It has a fizzy off-white head that quickly diminishes.
The aroma is sweet caramel and buttery toffee malts, peat, cola and a little alcohol.
The flavor is sweet caramel and butterscotch malts, some dark fruits, a little smoke and a subdued bitter alcoholic finish. The mouthfeel is medium to full with low carbonation.
Overall, I wasn’t too impressed with this one - it’s very subdued. I’ll take an Old Chub over this any day.
